Bear Market Reality Check

If you're seriously onboarding people into a coin that's been trending downward for 3 years—one that completely missed the entire bull run—then honestly, you're making a questionable call. Doing this across 2 full market cycles? That's not just poor judgment; it's unfair to the people trusting you, whether they're friends or family.

The math here doesn't work. When you're in bear territory, chasing assets that have already underperformed massively during the last bull cycle is how people get burned. The opportunity cost alone is brutal. Real talk: pick coins that actually have a shot, not ones carrying years of baggage from missed rallies.

Is the three-year decline still fooling people into buying? This move is really clever...

Good morning, it's 3 a.m. truth time: seeing someone still recommending a coin that has been falling nonstop for 3 years makes me realize that this year will once again provide material for a new batch of lawnmowers.

Is the three-year decline still attracting people? They're either gamblers or scammers.

ngl the path dependency argument here is pretty thin... like yeah, historical underperformance *suggests* continued underperformance, but that's arguably a sub-optimal framing of how market cycles actually work. the governance primitives around token selection deserved way more rigor.

Pulling people into a coin that has dropped for 3 years? This isn't a matter of faith, it's a matter of conscience.

lmao anyone pushing these zombie coins on their friends is basically running a governance attack on trust itself. that's the real protocol failure here.
